I feel I have become more confident in myself through this activity, not only in dancing but in other aspects too. I have definitely moved past my previous issue of being afraid to embarrass myself in front of the other people participating in the activity. However, that is not to say I have not made any mistakes. I have now understood that they are natural and that everyone makes them. At the end of the day, everyone is thinking about their dance steps and not nit-picking yours. While I have improved in this aspect, I have struggled in getting to know people in the activity outside of the people I already know who are part of it too, I am not a super outgoing person at times and tend to stick with people I am already close with. This can clearly be seen with the way I am constantly having to push myself out of my comfort zone this year. I think it is important that I work through this issue because a factor that feeds into activities like dance is the concept of teamwork. Perhaps my dancing will even improve if I trust the other dancers more.
